Reasons to smile
by chuckofish
Yesterday morning I drove down to the city to pick up a table at the auction house, but the table wouldn’t fit in my new car! Despite much utching and maneuvering by the nice staff people, it just wouldn’t fit. So I had to go all the way home and eventually switch cars with the OM and drive back down. My second attempt was successful, so all is well. The boy came over later and helped get the table out of the car and into the house. Phew. Festina lente and take a deep breath and smile.
Well, as you can see by the view from Don’s garden, spring is here! The sun plus all that rain has done the job once again.
You make springs gush forth in the valleys;
they flow between the hills;
11 they give drink to every beast of the field;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;
they sing among the branches.
13 From your lofty abode you water the mountains;
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.14 You cause the grass to grow for the livestock
and plants for man to cultivate,
that he may bring forth food from the earth
15 and wine to gladden the heart of man,
oil to make his face shine
and bread to strengthen man’s heart.
(Psalm 104: 10-15)
It is lacrosse season again…look at that little gal go!

And baseball season starts tomorrow, so I guess that means we’ll be watching Major League (1989)…
The Christmas Cactus is blooming again!

And it’s DN’s birthday today…
Good daddy and proud Mini driver…

We love you!



Happy birthday, Nate! Great photos!
Lottie looks so athletic!! And Happy Birthday, Nate!!
Happy Birthday, Nate! I can’t believe we got that table inside, it was touch and go there for a sec🤣
I know! Thank you again!
Thank you for the birthday wishes! Just today, a faculty member approached me as I stepped out of the Mini to say how much she misses hers. She had to give up her 2010 Cooper once she had children. She looked into a Countryman, but now she drives ::gestures meekly:: the Honda CR-V over there.
“It’s very nice,” I said.
“Sure!” she laughed.
The point being, it’s true that everyone loves their Mini or laments the one that got away.
LOL 💯!
